The selection being based on the commonality of the aircraft it covers, the number of jobs out there/demand, and the overall likelihood of a relatively low time pilot (about 1500 hrs with a little turbine time) getting an FO position at the moment?
Based on numbers I would go with the 525 type. We are approaching the 1500 total 525's in service and 4 of them are still being built. However a lot of them are flown single pilot. The 500 type covers a lot of airplanes as well, but none are in production anymore, so their numbers will continue to shrink.
Just my .02 cents
